Electroplating

Electroplating involves depositing a thin layer of metal onto the surface of a 3D printed part through an electrochemical process. Electroplating enhances the surface finish of the as-printed parts, improving durability, conductivity, corrosion protection and aesthetics. It can coat complex geometries uniformly and is compatible with a wide range of base materials, with the potential to use different plated metals such as gold, silver, nickel, copper and brass.
